Sat, 25 Jul 2015 09:30:03 +0000http://chrisbetcher.com/?p=2869#comment-14973That’s all true, Chris, but there’s another benefit which makes the Chromebook such a great choice for schools, particularly those which can’t afford to or choose not to go 1:1. The Chromebook is a perfectly anonymous device which takes on different characteristics according to who logs into it: a seven year-old gets the machine that she needs, and when she’s finished and the teacher logs into the same machine, it becomes a completely different device, and of course this can all be managed in the cloud from anywhere. This makes Chromebooks fundamentally different from tablets or traditional computers.

Fri, 24 Jul 2015 08:24:01 +0000http://chrisbetcher.com/?p=2869#comment-14955I am currently in the process of review schools around the ACT Public system. I have just collaborated on the creation of a 7000 word evaluation report with two other review panel members (written in 2 days), constantly referring to over 2GB of evidence (video, images, PDF, etc) and we did it all on chromebooks – and ended each day with still 3 or so hours of battery life left.

Chromebooks are awesome – I am struggling to justify my MacBook.

That being said I know the future, it is inevitable that something better will come along in the next 3 or so years.

If not, that is a concern as it implies a world view that is out-of-date its with respect to customer service and to fairness.

Wed, 15 Jul 2015 02:09:56 +0000http://betch.edublogs.org/2008/11/09/when-the-wings-fall-off/#comment-14838Hey Brian,

Yep, I originally wrote this post before I had seen that article and agree that, in hindsight, it may be a hoax. I even added that note in a PS at the end of the post a while ago.

That said, I still show the video in presentations sometimes because I feel that the point it makes about learning, unlearning and relearning is still just as valid. I have seen numerous videos of one winged model airplanes being landed, so it seems like it’s still technically possible to do it, and the idea that the controls are all suddenly messed up and require a relearning of how to fly I think still makes the point I was trying to make.
Thanks for your feedback though! Cheers.
